Irish...This year's bag shatters the record for
any previous two-day event around the Irish coast. Captain Paddy Saul,
President of the S.A. Federation presenting the gold medal to G. Treacy,
remarked that Mr. Treacy's catch of 1,265 lb. was scarcely credible and would
take some beating anywhere in Ireland or Britain.

GEORGE W. TRACEY

1872 - 1943

Father of Catherine and Agnes

Article from the

SUNDAY COURIER, POUGHKEEPSIE, NY MARCH 2, 1919

…He is great great grand-nephew of Commodore Barry,
of Revolutionary fame. Mr. Tracey's mother was a great grand-niece…

Always an Athlete

From boyhood he took a lively interest in athletics,
besting all local comers in friendly bouts with the gloves, and he is still
very handy at the art of self-defense.

His particular trend, however, was toward pedestrianism,
and stimulated by the glory of the early achievements of Weston, then in his
prime, and "Dan" O'Leary, he devoted his small leisure time to
training for the track.

Following closely on local successes in that direction, he
began entering the larger events, which brought him into international
prominence and won him fame, reaching the height of his ambition and renown
as a pedestrian in October, 1901, when he won the six days, day and night, go
as you please, championship of the world at Philadelphia, defeating 112
starters, including the champions of Great Britain, Germany and France.

Matched in February, 1904, against George Cartwright,
champion of England, for the 25 mile world's championship, he was again the
winner, breaking the world's record by covering the distance in 2 hours, 34
minutes, 27 seconds.

In May, 1909, he made a world's record in his feat of
running 78 miles and 6 laps, on the fifth day of a 6-day, 12 hours a day race
held at New York; and in the following month of the same year he had won a
world's championship race of 12 hours in Madison Square Garden, New York,
beating 128 men over the tan bark course to a finish.

In a hard-fought championship race at Philadelphia, he
made the unprecedented record of running and walking 39 consecutive hours
without leaving the track.

His 24-hour record of 184 miles and 5 laps, made at
Springfield, Mass., in September, 1889, was a wonderful test of speed and
endurance.

A large number of victories stand to his credit in the 12
hour a day class and at this period of his career on the track he won many 10
mile events, being one of the few men capable of running 11 miles inside of
an hour; and by the best judges he was accredited with being one of the most
graceful and powerful runners the world ever saw.

strong links still exist between the parishes of Moynalvey and Kiltale
through their respective GAA clubs, the athletics club spread its wings to
encompass the parish of Kilcloon and the club as it is known today came into
existence c.1989.

The president of the club is Liam Treacy, who got
international vests at schools and junior level for 800m and was a multi
medallist for 800m at under age levels and competed for many years for Dublin
City Harriers.

His wife Siobhan

representing Trinity College. She was a multiple track and field
international at 1500m and competed at the world cross country 3 times. In
addition she was silver medallist 3 times in the national senior 1500. Her
personal bests are 2.07.0 for 800m, 4.18.0 for 1500m and 2.52 for the
marathon. She was part of the only Irish women's senior team to win the home
countries cross country international. She was physiotherapist to Irish
Athletics for 15 years and was Physio to Athletics at the Barcelona and Seoul
Olympic Games.

Daniel, Sara and
Fodhla Treacy are their children.

emphatic win in the girls under 18 event. All Ireland Inter County cross
country championships, Dungarvan Waterford 26th November 2006:
Sara Treacy (Moynalvey) was Meath’s best placed runner and took the silver

which finished ninth in the European Junior Cross Country Championship at San
Giorgio su Legnano, Italy in December 2006. Sara
picked up an injury shortly after the European Cross Country, and was
subsequently unable to compete in the spring cross country events. This piece
of bad luck ruled her out of contention for another Irish School’s Cross
Country title, having already won a record breaking 4 in-a-row previous to
that for her former school, The King’s Hospital. Sara’s transition from
schools’ to university level competition will no doubt have been made even
more enjoyable by the fact that she out-paced two of the UK’s top young
athletes, Non Stanford (12:13 ) who has trained with double Olympic gold
medallist Kelly Holmes, and 3000m specialist Olivia Kenney (12:55). Of
particular note is the fact that this performance came after a 10 month

Boxing:

Edward (Eddie)
Tracey, of Cabra Dublin and Mayo

Eddie Tracy was born on Broombridge Road Cabra on the 5th
June 1943. The general consensus is that he was probably the best pound for
pound amateur boxer ever to come out of Cabra and this was proven when he was
picked for Ireland to box in the Olympics in Mexico in 1968.

Eddie boxed from the Avona club in Arbour Hill were his
ability was quickly spotted. In the years from 1956 to 1960 he was North
Dublin Juvenile Champion and he won the Leinster Juvenile Championship in
1961.

In 1965 he won the National Senior Bantamweight
Championship and in 1968 he won the National Featherweight Championship.

Medal hopeful Eddie Treacy boxed in the Olympics in 1968,
beating Jamaican Errol West in his first bout, but fell victim to what was
considered a “home-town” decision in his following bout against Mexican
Antonio Roldan, with the judges reportedly swayed by a fiercely partisan home
crowd. Treacy was said to have won the first and third rounds, with the
Mexican taking the second however, there was widespread dismay within the
Irish camp and amongst international reporters when the Mexican was judged
the winner.

In 1969 he boxed in the European Championships in
Belgrade, East Berlin and Bucharest.

Eddie now resides in Co. Mayo and travels into Cabra a
number of times a year to meet old friends and neighbours in the clubhouse
for a pint. Eddie worked as a photographer with his father who had a little
place on the quays for a number of years.

International Career: 1960 - 1974

International Caps: 53

Position: Forward

Reg Treacy (Cork Church of
Ireland ) made history in
Irish hockey when he became the first player to amass 50 caps for Ireland. A
strong, attack-minded player, Treacy had an eye for goal and developed the
reputation as a dangerous forward, who preferred to play on the left side of
the field. A player of exquisite touch and skill, the Munster man’s weaving
runs were to the delight of spectators and the torment of defenders. Treacy was one of the few players who played for Ireland in both of
the first two European Nations Cups in Brussels (1970) and Madrid (1974). Hall of Fame induction: 2006 [pdf]

Legendary Irish player and coach Reg Treacy passes away

The Irish and Munster hockey community was saddened to
hear of the passing of Reg Treacy, one of the country’s greatest players and
prolific youth coaches.

Known as an attacking player with a sharp eye for goal,
his Irish playing career spanned 14 years from 1960 to 1974, playing in the
first two European Nations Cups in 1970 in Brussels and 1974 in Madrid.

The Cork man also lined out for Great Britain on a 1963
tour of India, something players with parents born before 1937 or
grandparents before 1921 were eligible to qualify for.

On the club front, he was a key component of the Cork C
of I side that won three Irish Senior Cups in a row from 1967 to 1969 and won
the Munster league title for an incredible 14 seasons in succession. They
also finished fifth in Europe in 1970 in Terrassa, Spain and won the British
Isles club championships during this period.

He was one of the inaugural Irish Hockey Hall of Fame
entrants and became one of the first players to reach 50 international caps
for Ireland, eventually earning 53 in total.

Following his retirement from playing soon after an
Irish Junior Cup success in 1984, Treacy dedicated himself to over 30 years
of coaching work.

He was instrumental in training the C of I kids section
every Sunday afternoon, working with 100s of children. Many have gone on to
enjoy hockey at different levels with several going on to have hugely
successful international careers.

Tributes flowed yesterday, describing him as a “classy
player” who regularly tormented opponents with his wonderful skill even on
the bunmpiest of grass pitch. He played with “integrity and disctinction”, a
man who “gave so much back selflessy and taught hundreds of kids to play and
love hockey”.

Others described him as “a hockey inspiration and
friend” whose “dedication was second to none” and who “taught a lot of people
in Munster how to hold a stick”. He is survived by his wife Jean, son Derek
and daughter Alison and four grandchildren.

Prominent in the civic, social and business life of
Lexington, "Barney" J. Treacy, as he was familiarly and...He was
born June 24, 1842, in French Lawn, parish of Ballintubber, County Roscommon,
Ireland and was one of seven children ... He went to America when quite
young,...His native wit always
made him a jolly companion, and he was a thorough master of all the details
of horse dealing. He had been engaged in the breeding and live stock business
for many years, and amassed a large fortune. At one time, he was a member of
the firm of Treacy & Wilson, live stock auctioneers in Kentucky. He was
the owner of one of the largest breeding farms of trotting horses in the USA,
the 700 acre Ashland Park Stock Farm, established in 1877. The racing stables
of Barney Treacy, both
trotters and thoroughbreds, were conspicuous for many years on the turf.

The Blue-grass blade newspaper of Lexington, described him
in January 1891 as a supporter of the Prohibition party, "Mr Treacy used
to be a saloonkeeper on Dewees street in this city about as hard a part of
the town as there is in it" and as "a Catholic Irishman who has
made a large fortune in an honest and legitimate way Time papers report that
he is going to build a $50000 house. He came to this city a poor boy worked
among horses until he knew the business and is now one of the largest dealers
in horses."

In 1896, statements of his assets and liabilities amounted
to $75,000 while his property at Ashland Park Farm and two livery stables in
Lexington, including 177 horses, were expected to bring $50,000 under the
hammer.

Colonel or Capt. Bernard Treacy died Boston 12th September
1897, after a fall when he was entering a friend’s house, Frank C. Lappin of
South End. At that time he was very prominent in Lexington affairs, being a
member of the Board of Aldermen and Chairman of the Police Committee. He was
buried in Lexington, 18 September 1897.

Daniel, Sara and Fodhla Treacy are
siblings and all 3 represented the Irish Pony Club several times in
competitions in both UK, USA and Canada. Daniel was captain of the Irish team
that competed in the USA and Canada in 2006. [see Athletics]

Ryan Treacy, at
19, was a new racing talent that was quickly making a name for himself. He
was surrounded by horses growing up in Rosslea Fermanagh and spent most of
his younger days honing his riding skills at the local riding school and he
was also a regular participant with the Fermanagh Harriers on hunt days. As
an amateur his first ride for Oliver Brady on on One Cool Shabra at
Bellewstown was a winning one in July 2012. Ryan was initially granted a
conditional licence which restricted him to ride only Oliver Brady’s horses,
but following his winning debut he has now been given a full licence and is
starting to attract attention from trainers throughout the industry. Ryan who
had already recorded 9 winners in total by June 2013, has bundles of natural
talent and a bright future lies ahead and is tipped to be a Champion National
Hunt jockey. On Friday the 13th December 2013, he recorded his 13th
win.

In April 2015, Conditional rider Ryan Treacy enjoyed his
first career double on Cappacurry Zak and Draycott Place at Tramore.

Tommy
Treacy’s first winner was in an apprentice maiden on the flat at Clonmel
on June 25th 1992 and four months later he rode his first winner over hurdles
when the Paddy Mullins trained Sakanda scored in a maiden hurdle at
Punchestown. It did not take long for Tommy to become established and just
over a year later trainer Tom Foley put him up on Danoli as they combined to
land a novice hurdle at Punchestown. Danoli then started favourite for a big
novice event at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival but in a slowly run race
he had to settle for third place behind Winter Belle. Tommy was replaced by
Charlie Swan on Danoli shortly after this which proved very unfortunate for
him as the horse went on to achieve great success over the next season and a
half. However, Tommy began to ride more and more winners at this time and in
December 1994, he rode Boro Eight to win the December Festival Hurdle at
Leopardstown for his boss, Paddy Mullins, the first of a number of big race
successes they shared together. That Christmas Meeting at Leopardstown also
provided Tommy with big race wins on the Stephen Lambert trained Belmont King
in what was then known as the Findus Handicap Chase while he also partnered
Notcomplainingbut to take the Denny Juvenile Hurdle. The following year he
rode Beakstown to take the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown for Paddy Mullins
while stable companion Who’s To Say landed the Dan Moore Chase at the
Fairyhouse Easter Festival.

With regular jockey Charlie Swan likely to be
claimed to ride for the powerful Aidan O’Brien stable, trainer Tom Foley
turned to Tommy to partner stable star Danoli when the horse returned to
action from a leg injury in the 1996 AIG Europe Champion Hurdle and despite
being anything but 100% fit, Danoli ran a blinder to finish a close third to
Collier Bay and Hotel Minella. After this excellent return Danoli and Tommy
comfortably landed the Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran Park the following
month before finishing fourth to Collier Bay in the Smurfit Champion Hurdle
at Cheltenham on ground that was probably too quick for him. When Danoli
returned to action later on that season, Philip Fenton rode him to win his
first steeplechase at Clonmel in November before Tommy was re-united with him
when taking a winners event at Naas a couple of weeks later.

Aimed at
the Drinmore Chase at Fairyhouse in early December, unfortunately Danoli fell
at the third fence on that occasion but all that was forgotten about when he
won the Denny Gold Medal Novice Chase at Leopardstown later that month. Now a
leading fancy for the Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham, Danoli was fully expected
to win the Arkle Perpetual Cup at Leopardstown in late January but
unfortunately he fell early in the race leaving English raider Mulligan to
score under Adrian Maguire. Just two weeks later, trainer Tom Foley took a
really brave step in running Danoli in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown
with Tommy on board despite the fact that he was only a novice and had fallen
in two of his three previous outings over fences. However, under a brilliant
and courageous ride, Danoli took up the running early on the second circuit
and kept going long enough to defeat two previous Gold Cup winners, Jodami
and Imperial Call, in what remains one of the most exciting races ever held
at Leopardstown.

Unfortunately,
the going at Cheltenham on Gold Cup Day was much too fast for him and Danoli
came to grief again when well beaten behind Mr Mulligan. The Hennessy Cognac
Gold Cup victory was the last time that Tommy Treacy rode Danoli to victory
but this unassuming young man always lists the horse as one of his favourites
and he certainly helped to propel him into the limelight.

Tommy rode
three consecutive winners of the Jameson Gold Cup Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse
on Easter Monday as Castlekellyleader (1996), Gazalani (1997) and Unarmed
(1998) all obliged while Castlekellyleader also won the Stanley Cooker
Champion Novice Hurdle at the Punchestown Festival that same season a race in
which he partnered Arthur Moore’s Native Upmanship to victory in 1999. Other
big races successes in Tommy’s career were the 1998 Smithwicks Beer Handicap
Hurdle at Listowel on Cairncross, the 1998 Troytown Chase on Arthur Moore’s
Ryhane, the 1998 Irish Field Novice Chase on English raider Gutteridge while
he also rode the winner of the Powers Gold Cup on two occasions with Daniel
O’Connell’s Love The Lord scoring in 1996 and Tom Taaffe’s Delphi Lodge
obliging two years later. Delphi Lodge also won the Fortria Chase at Navan
later that year while Jim Dreaper’s Saxophone took the William Neville Novice
Chase at Leopardstown in 1999. Al O’Connell’s Glens Music triumphed in the
2003 Nas Na Riogh Chase at Naas while he also won a Lismullen Hurdle on Sean
Treacy’s Rose Of Inchiquin.

Tommy
Treacy enjoyed one of the biggest successes of his career when riding the
Jessica Harrington trained Studmaster to victory in the Pierse Hurdle at Leopardstown
in 2005 although it should be remembered that this quiet young man has been
knocking in the winners on a regular basis for well over a decade or so.

With 16
years experience at 33 years of age, in what is a tremendously difficult
occupation, behind him, Tommy Treacy is now regarded as one of the elder
statesmen in the weighing room.

In February
2015, he returned to horse racing after being out of racecourse action for a
year and a half, having fractured his tibia and fibula in a schooling
accident in May 2013.

In December
2015, he retired from horse racing.

Treacy’s hat-trick not enough to save Dublin

Tipperary 2-19 Dublin 4-11
A David Treacy hat-trick wasn’t enough to save Dublin from an agonising two
points defeat by Tipperary in this riveting Allianz NHL Division One tie at Semple
Stadium, Thurles yesterday. Thrown in at the deep end as a last minute
substitute, Treacy’s heroics seemed destined to secure Dublin’s first league
victory over the premier county in 20 years of competition.

Michael Ellard , Irish Examiner Monday, March 30,
2009

In 2009, he was a Gaelic Players Association (GPA) nominee for the
Hurling team of the year and Dublin Young Player of the Year award from Dublin Hurling Supporters
Club

In July 2010, despite injuries, he was part of the winning team in the Leinster U-21 final against Wexford, scoring two
points from frees.

In February 2011, injured
star David Treacy insists he has "a lot of ground to make up" if he
is to challenge for a place in the Dublin attack. He is currently recovering
from surgery in the wake of rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament. In June
2011, in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship semi-final against Galway,
Treacy had just recovered from a cruciate knee injury and was making his
return to the Dublin team for the first time in 18 months, but he only lasted
6 minutes before having to be taken off with a hamstring injury. He was ruled out for
at least 4-5weeks and missed the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship final
which Dublin lost to Kilkenny. On the 24th of July, he returned as a
substitution, when Dublin defeated Limerick, to earn them a place in the all
Ireland semi-final against Tipperary. In August, he suffered a new hamstring
injury in training and has been ruled out of playing for the rest of the season.

6th January 2012: Hurling forward, David Treacy, says he is optimistic that the lengthy
rebuilding job he has undertaken on his troublesome hamstrings should finally
lift the injury fog which has blighted his inter-county career. The Cuala
sharpshooter has been undergoing an intensive rehabilitation job after
suffering two serious hamstring tears in 2011 to add to a string of similar
previous blows which has hampered his career since making his debut for the
Dublin seniors back in 2009. Management are hopeful that Treacy will be in a
position to take his place in the Dublin forward line when they begin their
Allianz League campaign in six weeks time but are understandably cautious.

In March 2012, he came on as a
half time sub against Tipperary and scored a goal and two points. On the 1st
of April he played a full game against Waterford scoring four points.

In 2013, he plays on the Dublin
Senior Hurling Team which won the Leinster title.

In 2014/2015, he is again on the
Dublin squad.

In January 2016, his high scoring
play leads Dublin to the Walsh Cup final, where he and his brother, Sean,
both score helps Dublin to win the final.

In October 2016, the Treacy
brothers were members of the Cuala team to win the Dublin SHC title.

February 2012, played for Clonkeen
College in the Leinster Colleges Junior Football Final. May 2012 played for
the Dublin Minors in the

semi-final. In September 2012, he came on as a substitute in the final replay
against Tipperary. In 2013, he is a captain of the Dublin Minor Hurling team.
In 2015, he plays on the Dublin U21 hurling team. In January 2016, he plays
alongside his brother, David, on the Dublin Senior Hurling team to win the
Walsh Cup. Also in 2016, he is a leading scorer on the Dublin U21 team.

Thomastown GAA Kilkenny

From
the late 1950’s until 1972 there were two hurling clubs in Thomastown –
Thomastown and Thomastown Rangers. The Rangers club drew mainly from the
southern and western sides of the parish though the town and other parts of
the parish were always represented. The Forristal, Neill, Bookle, O’Keeffe,
Treacy, Donnelly and McEntee families are those who most readily come to
mind when one thinks back on the players and officials of the Rangers Club.

The Treacys were a
typical large Irish family. Five brothers, Martin, Jim, Paddy, Sean and
Willie won senior hurling championships with Bennettsbridge on the same day
when Bennettsbridge beat Glenmore by 4-9 to 1-4 in 1964. Martin and Jim were
both members of the Kilkenny team for a short period before the elder was
forced to retire. Martin is the elder by more than a half dozen years.

Kilkenny) June 4th 2014, peacefully, at St. Luke's Hospital, Martin, beloved
husband of Therese and much loved father of Martin, John, Patricia and

grandchildren Nicola, Matthew, Thomas, Jack and Laura, extended family
and friends.

Kilkenny
GAA is today mourning the death of Martin Treacy former senior All Ireland
medal winner and longest serving member of our County Board. A native of
Bennettsbridge Martin along with his brothers Jim, Paddy, Michael and the
late Sean was part of the great 'Bridge teams of the 50's and 60's and won a
total of 9 Senior Co Championship medals with them.On his retirement he became deeply involved
in the administration of the club and his fundraising efforts on its behalf
are legendary. Martin displayed equal commitment to his role as a member of
our County Board and served on many of its sub committees as well as acting
as steward on big match days in Nowlan Park. Click HERE
for article from our 2010 Yearbook on Martin written by Barrie Henriques.

In
the 1913-’14 era a senior hurling medal tournament was run to raise funding
for the building of a monument in Carrickshock to commemorate three local men
killed at the ‘Battle of Carrickshock’ which took place on December 14, 1831.
The three who lost their lives in that engagement, which was part of the
Tithe Wars with England, were Treacy, Power and Phelan. That monument,
outside the village of Hugginstown, was eventually erected at a cost of £21
in 1926 – a not insubstantial sum in those times.

‘The work done
at mid-field by Treacy was grandAnd the cheers for that hero
that came down from the standWill live in our memory until we
are deadAnd the crimson stained bandage
he wore round his head’

In a time of tough, uncompromising hurling Tommy Treacy
epitomised the spirit of the era. Brave, full-blooded, powerful, fearless,
and wholehearted are just some of the superlatives used to describe the
Colossus from Killea. His dashing style around midfield and at centre forward
was a feature of Tipperary’s All-Ireland wins of the 1930s. That he stood out
amongst his generation justifies his place in the company of Tipperary
Hurling Immortals.

Tommy was born in Killea and first came to prominence in 1926
when he won an All-Ireland junior medal with Tipperary. He graduated to
senior ranks in the league campaign of 1927/28, where he helped Tipperary to
their first ever title. In 1930, he was part of the Tipperary senior team
that completed the Triple Crown, along with wins at minor and junior level.
In the final of that year Tommy partnered Jim Lanigan of Thurles at midfield.
The Tipperary Star had this to say about his performance:

‘Treacy, with a blood-stained bandage round his head
personified the spirit of the game. Right and left, he crashed and smashed
through everything; he must in fact have all the ghosts of departed Tipperary
hurlers on his side’.

Later Tommy took part in the tour of North America in
September 1931, after which Tipperary were crowned World Champions. Tommy
later expressed many happy memories of that great tour.

Work brought Tommy to Dublin, where he became deeply involved
in the Young Irelands club. In fact, he threw his lot in with Dublin in the
1934 championship and they dethroned All-Ireland champions Kilkenny in the
replayed Leinster final. In the drawn game Dublin had been ahead when three
rapid Kilkenny goals in the dying moments gave them a one-point lead. Tommy
equalised from a free to bring the game to a replay, which Dublin won
convincingly. In the final of that year Dublin faced a newly emerging
Limerick team, which included the great Mick Mackey. The sides ended level in
the first outing. Tommy was critical of a decision by the Dublin mentors in
the replay in bringing on a ‘one-armed man’, namely Charlie McMahon, who came
on as a sub despite an injured hand. He felt that this move cost Dublin the game.

Tommy must have craved a return to Tipperary hurling and he
did so in 1936. He marked his comeback in emphatic style with a great display
in a league victory over All-Ireland champions Limerick in November of that
year, where he marked Paddy Clohessy, one of his toughest opponents. Once
again the bards were composing verses of praise:

Treacy’s the hurler and Treacy’s
the manWas the slogan on Sunday when he
guided the vanHe added another bright gem to
his crownWhen Thomond’s proud stalwarts
so proudly went down.He’s honoured indeed and not
honoured in vainHe’ll lead us to victory again
and againHe marshalled his team like a
veteran boldAnd showed us the style of
Tipperary of old.

Tommy’s ongoing commitment to Tipperary was remarkable in an
era when travel was more demanding and when playing for Dublin brought
reasonable prospects of honours. These difficulties are illustrated by an
event in 1937; Tommy played a Dublin championship match with Young Ireland’s
in the morning and then set off with Jimmy Cooney to a Munster championship
game against Cork. They arrived after the throw in and played no part in the
game. Nevertheless, he did ‘lead us to victory again’ when he played in the Munster
and All-Ireland finals later that year, scoring 1-2 in the final.

Tommy continued to hurl for Tipp but was a victim of the
‘Cooney case’ controversy of 1938 and the ‘Foot and Mouth’ All-Ireland of
1941. He retired from inter-county hurling in 1942 after Tipperary suffered a
heavy defeat to Cork in the Munster Final, but later regretted that he did
not continue until 1945 as he could have shared a unique third medal with
friend John Maher.

His chief attribute on the field of play was his strength.
Indeed one contemporary commentator recalled a goal scored by Tommy in a game
at Cork Showgrounds. Such was the power in the shot that had the net not
stopped the ball, he said, it would have hit Blackrock Castle over 2 miles
away!

Tommy lived in Dublin for the remainder of his years, where
he maintained his involvement with Young Irelands, serving a term as club
chairman. He worked in the Johnston, Mooney & O’Brien Bakery and lived in
Phibsborough, where he welcomed many young Gaels from Tipperary to the
capital. Other achievements were his involvement as vice-president of the
Tipperary Association in Dublin, and he was also a patron of Semple Stadium.
In later years Tommy was in failing health, but his spirits were undoubtedly
lifted by visits from the Tipperary minor teams after their All-Ireland
victories in 1980 and 1982. The Mid Tipperary Board honoured him with the
Hall of Fame award in Centenary Year. Upon his death in September 1985 his
remains were brought back to Templemore for burial alongside his wife Ellen.
He was survived by his brother, Dinny, his sister-in-law, and his nephew and
niece.

George Tracey of Dublin, an amateur racer. In October
2006, he took a clear win in the Super Final Mondello Park Rallycross.
He completed the British group going
on a Caribbean adventure at the end of November 2006 to take part in the
inaugural Barbados Rallycross International,
bringing to three the examples of Ford Rallycross Supercars
in the field. He has contested all his home country's major rallies, driving
machines including a Peugeot 206 World Rally Car, and travels regularly to
compete on the Isle of Man and in Europe.

In 2008, regular international traveller George Tracey
entering a three-car outfit sponsored by 123.ie and motorsportmad.com for
himself, son George Junior and John McCluskey. Tracey made it to two finals
from nine outings last year and expects the experience will stand him in good
stead as he, his son and McCluskey set out on what he says is "a serious
go at the championship." Tracey's fleet of French-made supercars
includes a Peugeot 307CC, a Citroen Xsara and a Citroen C4 though a final
decision on the allocation of cars has yet to be made. The team, which will
also have the use of a new three-car transporter and will carry the colours
of video website MotorsportMad.com, will be run at events by Tony Bardy.
Tracey Jnr had originally been expected to drive a Division One-A car this
year, but with a Division One car available, the 17-year-old will now get a
shot at the top class immediately. "I don't want Georgie to have any
pressure on him or expectations to achieve a championship result so I'll let
him race one of the cars when it's available," said Tracey Snr.

In November 2011, for the third Mondello Park Rallycross
in a row, George Tracey completely dominated the day, with his Citroen Xsara
winning both the Supercar A Final and the Super Final.

In 2012, George
Tracey (Mullingar) became the new National Rallycross Champion driving his ex
Kenneth Hansen Citroen Xsara ERC.

He
was one of the first American car drivers to win International standing.

Born
in County Waterford, Ireland, in 1873 he emigrated to the United States at
the age of 18 or 19 and later became an American citizen. Soon
after, he became a professional chauffeur and race driver.

In
1899 Tracy drove a one-cylinder motor bicycle and while cruising down
Broadway he saw his first car. Answering and ad one day he presented himself
as a mechanic and set about working on his first car for a wealthy patron.
Additional clients who needed instruction in the operation and maintenance of
